Overview

This point datalayer contains the locations of rail yards in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. These yards provide a transfer facility between one or more freight rail operators and a place to store and maintain railcars. This layer identifies the yard owner, whether the yard serves as a connection between two rail operators, and whether or not it is part of the National Highway System (NHS).

Production

The locations of the yards were digitized from the Commonwealth of Massachusetts 1:5000 color orthophoto imagery.
